• (NumberValue 0-1) BodyProportionScale: Controls percentage from wider scale (0.0) to narrow scale (1.0). This setting only takes effect when the BodyTypeScale is not 0.

So searching on
foo;bar
will return matches for either foo or bar.

Right click on a script tab and select “Close Other Scripts” to close all open scripts except the selected script.

Studio keeps a history of your most recent Script locations. Use the back/forward keys on the “Navigation” panel of the Script ribbon (or associated hotkeys) to quickly jump between locations.

And with the ip and port provided by turning it on, the developer can gain access to micro profiler using a web browser like Chrome to see the frame data.

LocalizationTable CSV import will ignore columns with empty headers.
Also made Key,Source,Context, and Example columns all optional. At least one of Source or Key is still required.

Local Simulation on parts you don’t know that are constrained to Anchored bodies or Terrain will become blocked to prevent Interpolation from fighting the Simulation. (Should fix some issues with Jailbreak Trains, and Cube Controller worlds)

Add function: number Vector2:Cross(Vector2 other).

… lua:function:: TeleportService:TeleportPartyAsync(
int64 placeId,
array players,

ScreenGui customLoadingScreen = nil)

If a player leaves the game after the call is invoked, they will be not be teleported but the teleport call will still succeed.
If any of the players is unable to join the game, e.g. due to access restrictions, the entire teleport call will fail and the error message will include relevant information.
Will not work from Studio.

… lua:property:: Player.JoinData
:summary: Provides information about the player joined the game

Enum.KeyCode.ButtonB
Enum.KeyCode.ButtonR1
Enum.KeyCode.ButtonL1
Enum.KeyCode.ButtonR3
Enum.KeyCode.ButtonL3
Enum.KeyCode.ButtonStart
Enum.KeyCode.ButtonSelect
Enum.KeyCode.DPadLeft

Unclamp ZIndex to allow values less than 1.

debug.traceback now adheres to the behavior specified for Lua 5.1: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-debug.traceback

Namely, it takes an optional coroutine argument whose trace will be returned. If no coroutine is provided, the trace of the calling coroutine will be returned (as happens currently). An optional message argument will be pre-pended to the trace. If a message argument is provided, a level argument can also be provided, specifying how far back in the trace to report from.

Disabling creation of Chat.ChatLocalization unconditionally on DataModel startup. It will now be created only if an instance of the same name does not exist under Chat, similar to the rest of the default chat scripts.

Chat.ChatLocalization replicates to clients from the server instead of being created on the client. Scripts acquiring a reference to this table must now use WaitForChild instead of assuming it already exists.

Remove redundant terrain geometry that was generated twice in some cases, leading to ~2x faster terrain rendering for large terrain baseplates depending on voxel alignment.

Fixed an issue where join can be unsuccessful on an unstable network.

Finished syncing drag and drop from UI Editor

Remove address bar from plugins management tab

Stack traces in client/server logs will now be written as a single message with newlines, instead of multiple messages

We are trying to fix issues with services being placed in non-default locations. This has caused issues in the past with some code assuming that the services exist in specific locations. This change restricts everything except Lighting, Teams, and SoundService from having non-default parents. These three exceptions are common in old scripts.

Roblox locale ID now initializes from user preferences instead of defaulting to system locale.

Studio start page now remembers where you last were when you restart studio

Automatically re-translate all auto-localized GUI elements when RobloxLocaleId changes.

Improved the look and visibility of glass on low quality mode to be more consistent with medium quality.

When inserting Gui Objects, it will follow this behavior:
Insert Gui Object Behavior
If there is multiple selection, it will act on the first selected object.
If there is a selection that is ScreenGui, make it a child of ScreenGui.
If there is a selection that is any other GuiObject, make it a sibling of that GuiObject.
If no selection, insert it into first ScreenGui under Starter Gui

UI Editor V1.0 button removed

Added Camera.NearPlaneZ

This change added attachment.CFrame property.
This is a read only property.

Significantly reduce amount of data that needs to be sent during join for terrain-heavy places

Text scraper re-uses the same GeneratedLocalizationTable over multiple runs.

Consolidating behavior of string.format across 32 and 64 bit applications (there are some combinations of format specifiers and values that are inconsistent at the moment). We will be gathering impact metrics to determine if it is safe to enable this before changing ANY behavior in game / studio, please follow posts on the dev forum for specifics.

Added a button to the localization tools plugin for toggling play mode to use Spanish

Added GuiBase.RootLocalizationTable and GuiBase.AutoLocalize. Deprecated LocalizationTable.Root, which will be disabled soon.

Any Gui under PlayerGui or Workspace can use any LocalizationTable that is a child of LocalizationService to translate. If RootLocalizationTable is set that table will be used to translate that object and it’s children instead. The RootLocalizationTable does not need to be a descendant of LocalizationService.

Fixed Server/Player launch on Mac

Fixed an issue where the sound cache would get incorrectly cleaned up, leading to errors when trying to play sounds.

Fixes a crash when using a WeldConstraint that has at least one part not in the Workspace.

Fixed a bug where dragging a model out of Workspace would cause joints to sometimes be deleted.
